Physician Health Programs: Your Partner in Supporting Diplomate Wellbeing, Professionalism, and Patient Safety

Physician Health Programs (PHPs) currently serve over 6100 physicians and other health professionals across 47 states and the District of Columbia. The unparalleled effectiveness of PHPs is based on a simple concept: healthy physicians provide safer care. In this interactive session, presenters will provide a comprehensive overview of the Physician Health Program model and how PHPs and ABMS member boards are aligned at the nexus of professionalism, physician wellbeing, and patient safety. PHP outcome and national survey data, performance improvement initiatives, and advocacy efforts will illuminate opportunities for specialty board and PHP collaboration in supporting physician well-being and care excellence. Case-based learning and audience response systems will reinforce key concepts and practical application in real world scenarios.
